Payment Exception Service - Planned Procurement Notice

This is a new procurement to supersede the previous Payment Exception Service Procurement (identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-04f71a) which has now been abandoned. Please refer to previous Notices if necessary. DWP is procuring a Supplier to create and operate a system (the "Payment Exception Service") which will allow benefit and pensions recipients (which DWP refers to as “Customers”) without bank accounts to receive payment of entitlement through an alternate method of payment. The service is required to fulfil the Secretary of State obligation to pay benefit and pensions payments on time, on the due date, to the correct customer. Customers will need to be able to access their payments in cash at a wide range of geographical locations. Suppliers will need to ensure comprehensive coverage, which DWP will further define in the Tender Notice. The geographical scope of the Payment Exception Service will be for Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Benefit payments are usually paid weekly, monthly or 4 weekly. This will be a “Payment Service” as defined by the Payment Services Regulations 2017. DWP considers that a simple and robust delivery model is the best way to ensure that particularly vulnerable customers can access their payments. To meet the Governments mission-led focus, DWP’s ambition is to ensure that only customers who genuinely need the service are relying on PES over the coming years. Customers who are able to should be paid by alternative means, to help support them to become financially included. Consequently, it is intended that DWP will include within the specification business requirements which will have as their aim the lowering of the number of people depending on the PES. DWP estimate the date for suppliers to submit Tenders in this Competitive Flexible Procurement will be early to mid-September 2025 (Tender Submission Date.) It is not envisaged that there will be a separate “Request to Participate” stage. Conditions of Participation will be set out in the Tender Notice and bids will be assessed based on legal, financial capacity and technical ability. DWP strongly advise that potential suppliers review the Conditions of Participation and the fundamental requirements carefully before compiling a full bid as failure to meet these requirements may result in your bid being excluded. Tender Documents may be obtained via DWP e-procurement system. Further details will be provided at Tender stage. DWP will not be conducting any further Market Engagement in respect of this procurement, as DWP has recently conducted Market Engagement in respect of the services to be included in this procurement. This was completed in the previous procurement as detailed above. Any Conditions of Participation that DWP require will be added to the Tender Notice (currently scheduled for 31 July 2025)

BCU-FTS-59434 - Appointment of Investment Managers for Charitable Funds

Many of the donations and legacies received by the Charity cannot be spent right away as they need to be accumulated in order to fund the most pressing and relevant items to improve patient care. As a result, the charity invests these contributions in order to earn income and protect their ‘real-worth’. An investment manager is required to manage these investments, in order to maximise the return to the Charity, whilst minimising the risk. The Charity has adopted an ethical framework for investments with underlying principles supporting an ethical component of the overall investment strategy. This gives direction to the investment manager to develop a suitable investment strategy which is consistent with these ethical principles whilst affording sufficient flexibility to provide the best balance of risk and reward for the Charity. The current Ethical Investments Policy states: It is recommended that there is negative exclusion of investment in companies manufacturing and distributing: - Alcoholic products; - Tobacco products; and - Any products which may be considered in conflict with the Health Board’s activities. Investment is not permitted in companies which have a poor record in human rights and child exploitation or which derive their profits from countries with poor human rights records. Please see Information for Bidders document on the Bravo Solutions portal for further details. Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board recognises the importance of the Welsh language to the communities it serves. Consequently, responses to an invitation to quote or tender will be accepted in Welsh as well as English. However, please note that tender responses submitted only in Welsh will be translated by the Trust into English before consideration. Those involved in translating the document will be barred from taking decisions on awarding tenders. The tender will be awarded based on 40% cost & 60% quality as detailed in the ITT document. Please note that the tender closing date is 14/07/2025 at midday and any late submissions will not be considered.
